chatty, do you ever use the microwave bacon?

I'll use it for recipes only. It's perfect for something like this, but not great to eat alone.

These ingredients are making my mouth water, but I bet it's got a lot of calories.

I do use mi cro wave bacon once in awhile, for these I bough the alreaqdy cooked bacon in bits, its great and so easy. Now the peppers aren't anything and neither is the dough. The cream cheese can be low fat if you want to, but in all one pizza popper is only around 110 calories. NOT BAD, considering the flavor and ease in making them.
You can also use ground turkey, or pieces chicken shredded and chopped. The bacon is the best tasting though.
